Six Of The Best

They Get My Vote Every Time

Maybe it was nostalgia, maybe it was just my attention to detail (I’m a journalist, remember!) but a few hours ago I went back to the very first instalment of Aussiejourno’s Weekly Blog Awards. It was back on 24 February and the list then comprised only the Top Ten, as opposed to the Top 50 now. It is my very great pleasure to congratulate six bloggers who have featured on the Awards roll of honour every single week since their inception.

They are Rambling Traveler who started at No.2; The Back of my Headboard who started at No.3; Dance With the Sun who started at No.4; Bartraeke who started at No.6; Colorado Bob who started at No.7 and Allan Cook who started at No.8.

If you'd like to nominate a blog for the Weekly Awards, just leave the url here as a comment.

Mobilising Support For My Friend Bob

I've wrestled with this one for 24 hours, I really have. But I've finally reached a decision. A friend of mine in the US, a man with great life experience and a wonderful take on life, needs a little encouragement at the moment. Colorado Bob is always readable, always thought-provoking and always brings a wonderful perspective to us all. But, never having asked anyone to write a comment on my own blog, I am certainly asking you to leave one on his blog. I respect his privacy, for sure. But as he is a blogger and communicates with the world through his computer, I figure it is up to us, his audience, to reach out and be there for him when he needs a shoulder - or many shoulders - to lean on.
